spotlight searches on network/remote Volumes

I'm not sure what qualifies mounted network volumes to be indexed. all my afp shares are indexed by default and I can search them. to do so you need to start a finder search and then switch the search location to "shared" in the search toolbar.
you can check if a particular mounted volume is indexed by running this command from terminal

mdutil -s /volumes/"volume name"

if it says that the indexing is disabled you can try enabling it with

sudo mdutil -i on /volumes/"volume name"

hello v.k.

are your mounted network networkvolumes served by other macs?
or do you use netatalk volumes?

this is what I get displayed when querying my netatalk remote volumes:

ws:~ user$ mdutil -s /Volumes/Archives.1
/Volumes/Archives.1:
Indexing enabled.
ws:~ user$ mdutil -s /Volumes/Archives.2
/Volumes/Archives.2:
Indexing enabled.

No indexes, no spotlight search.
Like to see more? How about this:

cd /Volumes/Archives.1/.Spotlight-V100/
ws:.Spotlight-V100 user$ ls -R
Store-V1

./Store-V1:
Stores VolumeConfig.plist

./Store-V1/Stores:
53E4FA0B-5070-4F5D-A3B2-95AF576A1064

./Store-V1/Stores/53E4FA0B-5070-4F5D-A3B2-95AF576A1064:
ws:.Spotlight-V100 user$ cat /Volumes/Archives.2/.Spotlight-V100/Store-V1/VolumeConfig.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<key>policySearch</key>

</plist>

What's wrong? security? no, all rights to read and write into the index and most files on the volume.
I do think it's wrong on apple's side of the desk.

@K T

sorry, I am not a programmer. I cannot read this development stuff.
not that i am not doing it - but i don't understand it.

=:-)f

in terminal i used this commands:

mdutil -s /Volumes/Archiv
cd /Volumes/Archiv
ls -lR ./.Spotlight-V100*
cd Bibliothek
ls -l@R # makes a long list
# the following, could be cpu+network intensive
find . -name "*.pdf" -exec mdimport {} \;
find . -name "*.pdf" -exec ~/bin/openmeta -p {} \;

# what I expect from this commands?

want to see if spotlight indexing is turned on
cd to my archive
there is the same dirtree as in /, different guid.
show xattrs on files in my library
search all pdf and import into spotlight
search all pdf and display its openmeta tags

# results are already posted to this thread
